Up On The Housetop

Who's that? Hey, he's comin' our way
Who's that? With the reindeer and sleigh
Who's that? Well I'll betcha that the man with the bag
Will be up on the roof tonight
Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Up jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones' Christmas joys
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh dear Santa fill it well
Give to her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that can open and shut its eyes
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
Look in the stocking of little Bill
Oh just see what a glorious fill
Here's a hammer and lots of tacks
A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, a click, click, click
Down the chim-i-ney with good St. Nick
Down through the chim-i-ney
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chim-i-ney
Down through the chim-i-ney
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
St. Nick
That's it!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I've brought some corn for poppin'
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dyin'
And my dear, we're still goodbyin'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
We don't care if it's ten below
When we're sitting by the fire's gloosy glow
We don't care about the cold and the winds that blow
We just say, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It's plain to see that we're in for a storm
Why should we worry when we're nice and warm?
Side by side, hand in hand with the lights turned low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm, I'll be warm
(Yes, I'll be safe and warm)
The fire is slowly dyin'
And my dear, we're still goodbyin'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
We don't care about the winds that blow
We're sittin' by the fire with the lights down low
You and me with no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Svētnakts kalnos
03:58
|

Kalni šonakt sudrabaināk blāzmo
Zvaigznes zeltaināk un krāšńāk spīd
Lejas siltāk pārslu sagšās tinās
Sołi saudzīgāk un klusāk slīd
Mazais dievnams kalnā staro
Zvani aicina un sauc un lūdz
Lai ikviens uz augšu paceł vaigu
Kristus gaismai visas sāpes sūdz
Lai ikviens kā ziedu atver sirdi
Lai ik roka spožu sveci sprauž
Jo starp pašām debesīm un zemi
Mīlestība šonakt tiltu auž
Mazais dievnams kalnā staro
Zvani aicina un sauc un lūdz
Lai ikviens uz augšu paceł vaigu
Kristus gaismai visas sāpes sūdz
Lai ikviens kā ziedu atver sirdi
Lai ik roka spožu sveci sprauž
Jo starp pašām debesīm un zemi
Mīlestība šonakt tiltu auž

In the Bleak Midwinter
03:42
|
|||
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss
What can I give him
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would give a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what can I give him
Give my heart
This I still can give him
I can give my heart

Christmas Card
03:52
|
|||
Pour my cup of coffee
And plug in the lights
The room is full of holiglo, holiglo
But there's one feeling I can't fight
I miss you, my family, my friends, my loved ones
I wish I could be with you, feel your heart
So send me a card for Christmas
If I can't be with you
And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek
Fa la la la la la
I'll still bake the cookies
And I'll still trim the tree
I'll put the candles in the windows and hope it snows
And just dream of when you were with me
We'd sing and we'd laugh and we'd share our wishes
It's this time of year that I need you the most
So send me a card for Christmas
If I can't be with you
And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek
Fa la la la la la
I need you to know what your words mean to me
And how they soothe my heart
When I sit alone by the greenery
And we're worlds apart
But still I hope
That your envelope
Will find its way to my front door
So send me a card for Christmas
If I can't be with you
And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek
Fa la la la la la

Silver Bells
03:54
|
|||
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
Of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Christmas makes you feel emotional
It can bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be
This is what Christmas time means to me
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day

The Man With the Bag
03:47
|

Old Mr. Kringle, is soon gonna jingle
The bells that'll tinkle all your troubles away
Ev'rybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is comin' again
He's got a sleighful, it's not gonna stay full
He's got stuff to drop at ev'ry stop of the way
Ev'rybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
'Cause Christmas is comin' again
He'll be here with the answers to the prayers
That you made through the year
You'll get yours if you've done ev'rything you should
Extra special good
He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Ev'rybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
Ev'ryone's waitin', ev'ryone's congregatin'
For that wonderful man
With the bag
We're all just waitin' for the man with the bag

The First Noël the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noël Noël Noël Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noël Noël Noël Noël
Born is the King of Israel!
Jūs, ticīgie, nāciet,
Gavilējiet priekā,
Ak, nākdami nāciet uz Betlemi!
Raugait šo bērnu,
Kas par mums ir dzimis!
Ak, nāciet viņu pielūgt,
Ak, nāciet viņu pielūgt,
Ak, nāciet viņu pielūgt, šo Ķēniņu!
Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord!
Noël Noël Noël Noël
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel!

Laukos vai Riga
03:09

Klausies, mīłā
Ziemassvētki atkal tuvojās
Zinu, dārgais
Pastā ir jau svētku kartińas
Svētku sniegā
Varam abi mīłi vārtīties
Apgaismotās
Ielās iesim rotas iepirkties
Bet atkal pienācis ir laiks
Kad mums ir jāatbild šis jautājums:
Kur mēs šogad svinēsim?
Laukos vai Rīgā
Senču lauk' mājā
Laukos vai Rīgā
Tēva penthausā
Laukos vai Rīgā
Kā lai šo izgudrojam
Lai šogad svētkus visi izbaudam?
Pēdējā gadā
Jūsu kaza dāvanas apēda
Bet tavā Rīgā
Liftā braucot egle pārlūza
Tavs onkulis Tālis
Svētku buču ilgi turēja
Un tavas māsas
Atkal visu vīnu izdzēra
Mēs gribam svētkos kopā būt
Bet ir grūti kad ir jāizlemj
Kur mēs šogad svinēsim?
Laukos vai Rīgā
Kūtī gulēsim?
Laukos vai Rīgā
Burzmā nosmaksim?
Laukos vai Rīgā
Kā lai šo izgudrojam
Lai šogad svētkus visi izbaudam?
(- Nu, ko dararm?
- Tu jau zini, ka svinēt ar tavu gimeni nav mana pirmā izvēle
- Jā. Un es? Laukos? Esmu ka izmesta no laivas! Un tad atkal prasu: ko daram?
- Kaut kas jādara...
- Zini, ir trešā izvēle...
- Vai tev prātā tas pats kas man?
- Man škiet ka jā!
- Sarunāts?
- Sarunāts!)
Tad varbūt šogad labāk svinēt
Mūsu mājā, tikai abi mēs
Bez dubłainiem zābakiem
Bez dārgajiem pīrāgiem
Bez trakajiem rad'niekiem
Bez lielajiem notikumiem
Mīlestībā, tu un es
Divatā pie eglītes
Tā mēs šogad svinēsim!

Es skaistu rozi zinu
04:33
|
|||
Es skaistu rozi zinu, no sīkas saknes tā
Šī rozīte, ko minu, to Dievs mums dāvina
Tā plauka dzestrumā pie aukstas ziemas saules,
Pie pusnakts tumsībā.
Šo brīnumskaisto rozi, ko praviets sludina,
Mums Māra atnesusi, tā šķīsta jaunava.
Pēc Dieva padoma viens bērniņš tai ir dzimis,
Pie pusnakts tumsībā.
Tu, rozīt, skaistā, jaukā, tu puķīt svētākā,
Kam gribi ziedēt laukā? Zied’ manā sirsniņā!
Kas ticīgs tevi kopj, tam sirds no saldas smaržas,
Un dvēs`le pilna top.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
